Good points but even after taking the stock off most people say you need to rezero (this could I suppose account for the missed head shot hitting the neck).

Yea: that's my experience. You can lock the scope on seriously tight, but after miles knocking about in a bag before reassembly with the stock it's bound to be off: though not nearly as much as it would be dismantling and later remounting the scope. The disadvantage is that the scope if left attached lengthens the body making it harder to hide.

- on accuracy, I'm thinking the guy didn't actually care if he got a hit: Trumps ear and all that. He just wanted to be a player in the "game". After all it IS a game: that's why the Israelis are allowed and indeed equipped by the US to bomb a whole city to fragments murder hundreds of thousands...snipers taking out small children...the US navy incinerating random people in a boat off Venezuela.

Where there's no law & no consequences and no recognition that these are actually real people, then it's a " game": seemingly no different from what you play on a computer.

So, why can't the youth play it too?
I'm now waiting for the first random US teen drone-assassin: it won't be long.
